I was having an average day, minding my business shopping when out of nowhere I heard you behind me, telling me how no one was listening to you and how people walk away from you mid-sentence...it caught me off-guard and it seemed ironic that you were doing the opposite of what you were complaining about...you definitely had the attention of everyone in the store if that is what you were aiming for.. It was obvious that you were in a fowl mood and that's fine, I respect other people's emotions and the need to express them but at the time I felt there was a certain level of disrespect in your attitude toward everyone else shopping there. I tried to offer you some helpful advice with a smile and was shocked when it was met by a brick wall and an extremely rude and abrupt reply. I was so taken aback by your response as I was only trying to offer you some insight. I was nearly moved to tears by your ignorance. It was only the day before that I was complaining about how so many people close themselves off to new information and are cognitively dissonant, and there you were, the very epitome of my complaints...and the perfect example of how the law of attraction works. You get what you give...meaning... you only ever experience what you are already the energy of. There was a part of me that wanted to show my anger toward you for your ignorance and disrespect but I walked away and realized the futility in responding that way. Anyone who is that rude to complete strangers offering them help is surely suffering deeply within themselves. I was frustrated for not being able to get through to you but I want you to know I never meant to challenge you in any way. Please know that just because I didn't agree and join you in your complaints doesn't mean I was trying to be rude toward you. I see things from a different perspective than most and I always try to shed light anywhere I can. Well, it seemed to fail me that day and I left the store feeling very overwhelmed and frustrated by such a seemingly petty interaction. Please know that I only wish you well and I hope you are able to release the heavy dense energies you've been carrying around. Anytime I meet someone who is lost in complaint and victim identity I want to tell them all about physics and that that stuff really doesn't matter and everything is amazing once you take off the negative filters. Really :) I bought myself bright pink flowers later that day to cheer myself up and it made me smile afterward because I realized they matched your ensemble perfectly and it reminded me of the importance of not falling into the ego-trap of responding negatively to negative behavior. I truly hope you are able to find some relief and perhaps a new perspective...not everyone is an enemy despite how things may appear on the surface. I hope you have a lovely holiday season and I wish you peace, love, light and clarity of being <3

It can't wash my love away. —From Halifax to Corsica

I really liked making out with you...…. —your lips are the sweetest

This last year I respected your decision not to come across the world with me and start a new life together. I miss your smile, your laugh and your love of adventure. But right now you are scared, fighting the biggest battle of your life and you are choosing to do it alone. Your strength is incredible but I know you're afraid. Please let us help you, please lean on your friends, please believe that despite your experiences there are people who will be there for you. Don't shut us out. We love you. —G

Hey Apple Girl up by the Sobeys on North. Tonight, yet again, we cross paths - me slamming on my brakes, and there you are again, walking in front of me obliviously munching on an apple. You make me want to turn my car around and go buy a bag of apples. Are apples really that tasty? Is that why you are so slim? Does the Doctor really stay away? You always put a smile on my face. Munch away girl, see you up North! Love the way you love Apples. —Distracted Driver

PEOPLE ARE SO FRIENDLY HERE EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO SELL YOU SOMETHING. MY NEIGHBORS SAY HELLO TO ME. THEIR CHILDREN PLAY IN THE STREETS AFTER DARK. MOTORISTS WAIT FOR ME TO CROSS THE SIDEWALK AND NO ONE ACTS LIKE THEY'RE CONSTANTLY EXPECTING TO BE MUGGED. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU PEOPLE?

(P.S. SORRY FOR THE ALL CAPS BUT I AM FROM LOS ANGELES AND OUR PRINCIPAL EXPORT IS EXAGGERATION) —CONFUSED LOS ANGELES TRANSPLANT

I love you.

Purple, orange, yellow, blue--
I'm in love with all of you.

Some of you are round and smooth,
Some are shaped like soft-edged triangles.

Some are neon,
Some are not.

But every one of you
Has a beautiful agenda.

When we hang out together
Anywhere on the page is the center of my heart.

I love you

Coloured pencils.
